An AMUSING INCIDENT
occurred whilst conversing with lady,
to whom speech betrayed me. She in
troduced herself as u country woman,
and the conversation turned upon the
poisonous atmosphere we were inholing,
She replied she much preferred London

former YOU could keep out with the
rcspirator, but there was no help for
the latter. Her unexpected reply caused
me to ask from which State she came.
She replied Virginia, but she had lived
here for thirty years, and was making
arrangements TO leave during this mis-
ernblc month.
JENNY LIND AND THE QUEEN.
Many incidents are being told of the

genuine liking for Madame Goldschmidt.
Her respect was entirely due TO the

There was SO much cred tape" that her

some one came on the scene of sufficient
authority to prevent her being turned
away from the door of Her Sovereign

MIR. RANDAIL's POSITION.

Tariff Legislation.

An intimate friend of Mr.. Randall, in
conversation with CRITIC reporter this
morning, said of that gcnteman's posi-
ton respecting the tariff bill which will
be brought before the House ut IN early
day: "Mr. Randall was somewhat sur
prised at the Presidents Message, for he
fully expected n recommendation for
the repeal of the tobacco tax; but he
has kept his views TO himself and has
declined to discuss the Message for pub
lication. The stories set atloat that Mr..
Randall will act the part of an obstruc-
ZIONIST when it comes to the considera-
tion of tariff bill are without founda-
ton and calculated to do that gentleman
harm.
"Nlr. Randall will vote for the consid-
Grafton of any tariff bill, but will not
say that he will vote for the adoption of
u tariff bill that is mapped out on the line
of the tsrecommendation Mr..
Randall will vote for some things and
oppose others, but he will do nothing

THE COMMITTEE ON RULES.
Rcnsons FOR the Delay In Making An
nUunccmcut of II.

nUunccmcnt of n.
Considerable talk has been occasioncd
by the long delay in announcing the
Committee on Rules, and on the Rcpub-
lican side of the House the opinion pre-
walls that the delay is due TO the inter
ference of the President, who, II is
charged, wants Mr.. Scott Of Pcnnsylva-
mia made chairman of Ways and Means.
Another reason assigned is that the New
York delegation are dcsirous that Mr.
Cox be honorcd with that chairmanship,
and they have urged his name on the
Speaker with considerable force.
They maintain that New York is the
pivotal State and that New Yorker nj
the head of Ways and Means would
greatly aid the cause of Democracy in
the Empire State. But as il seems TO be
an understood fact that Cox is to grace
the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
there is not much chance for his hay
ing the Ways and Means.
Speaker Carlislc's choice is Mr.. Mills,
and in all probability he will be at the
head of the Ways and Means Committee
unless something unforeseen turns up to
break the combination.
The Democratic and Republican mem
bcrs are well aware Of this state of af'
fairs and they express themselves freely
on the subject. They say that the
Speaker cannot with consistency appoint
two men from the same state TO TIL,
chairmanships of the most important
committees of the House. 1t may b,
good politics, they say, but the lIous,
don't look upon It in that light, and tn,
Speaker is very apt to consider the pleas
urc Of the House in preference 10 that o
the White House. The Committee oi
Rules will probably be announced OF
Friday.

that 1t is the wearcr who makes the ier-

and so we will leave him to his igno-

devised so perfectly comfortable, SO

The partial decline of this

new impetus to the fashion has been
given by the importers, who have at

the wearer for whatever grace or beauty
